Ron Rivera appeared on a podcast this week with Chris Collinsworth and talked about the struggles he had during the 2020 season. They discussed the challenges of the COVID-affected offseason, the social justice issues that affected the same offseason, the name change and negative publicity revolving around the franchise, and coach Rivera’s battle with cancer through it all.
The coach said that part of his battle – and this is something that he did on the advice of his doctors – was to try to maintain his normal life to the extent possible during his chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
